There are 3 different committees in CAPS in Action:

Events Committee: Oversees and plans CIA’s events throughout the year including, but not limited to, tabling events, social events, and partnership events with CAPS staff.

Past Projects:

• Video series - “Real Stories of Leaders at their Best” - interviews with students and faculty about their experiences with mental health 

• Letter to the Michigan Daily explaining how faculty can support student mental health

The COVID-19 pandemic has no doubt been stressful and unnerving for many of us. However, it is important to note that people with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) may be feeling particularly triggered, anxious, or hurting at this time.

This three session video workshop will focus on understanding anxiety, learning strategies to manage anxiety, and developing a plan to apply the strategies on a daily basis wherever you are during the Pandemic.

Anxiety Toolbox Part 1

Just like you, the University of Michigan Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) is venturing unto a new path, a new reality associated with COVID-19.  We wanted to reach out (virtually, of course! #PhysicalDistancing) and share ways in which to help take care of yourselves, no matter if you are in Ann Arbor or across the globe.

While we are at home following physical distancing guidelines, remember there's always opportunities to "do something." Check out the video on this page to see some of CAPS staff highlight this recent effort during the pandemic. 

The app, produced by the national Stressbusters wellness program, now makes it possible for students and others in the UM community to view, share, store and use campus event announcements, news alerts, student and department videos, one-touch dial emergency buttons, health tips, surveys and other features, directly on their iOS and Android mobile devices.
